No Larry, I have 2 S900 boxes. So S900#1 that has X on an 8 GB partition is currently running Ramometer on 1 GB ram and passed 3287 cycles in 24 hours. My other S900 that had X on it is now testing 656 MB ram with Ramometer. Once I get to 1 GB, I'll try the latest XpostFacto to get 10.2 loaded. Although Will S. says there's a new Jaguar coming out this week or next. That might be worth putting off any new installs. Ryan will be busy on the new XpostFacto I'm sure. He seems to be able to keep up with this cat pretty well. On mixed ram, I defer to Will S. who said mixing FPM and EDO ram didn't work for him.
